My Thanksgiving mistake.

I made a mistake this week.  In preparation for hosting our first Thanksgiving here, I asked Rusty to clean up the backyard.  We have a mesquite tree in the back that has a SERIOUS case of mistletoe parasite, so that was his first goal: to free our tree from the clutches of the villanous mistletoe.  Three days, many MANY wounds, and about 13 hours of work later...mistletoe still remains, and our tree looks worse than the Charlie Brown Christmas twig.:)  This picture to the left is only after a few hours of work.  The pile below the tree has since grown to about twice that height...and likewise the tree has shrunk into only the branches you see Rusty standing on.

Oh yeah, I got a haircut this week.  Here it is for people who never see me.  Actually, I'll probably look different than this next time you see me.  I have haircut ADHD.  And yes, for those of you who DO see me...I took this in front of my shower curtain:).
